Class 16 - Lenses, Optical Fourier Transforms, 4F imaging systems and spatial filtering

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

The learning objectives of this class:

  • Understand the operation principle of lenses
  • Determine the transmittance of lenses
  • Understand the use of the ABCD matrix to estimate the diffraction patterns in an arbitrary optical system
  • Calculate the complex amplitude distribution at an arbitrary plane using the ABCD matrix
  • Calculate the complex amplitude distributions at the Fourier and image planes in a coherent 4f imaging system using ABCD matrix
  • Calculate the complex amplitude distribution at the image plane if there is a pupil in the Fourier plane of a coherent 4f imaging system
  • Identify the coherent impulse response and its transfer function in a coherent 4f imaging system
  • Understand spatial filtering
